Surf Wax America is a song by Weezer which appears on their self-titled debut record, otherwise known as The Blue Album. The track opens up with a nice guitar pattern before Cuomo comes in with the vocal delivery of the track and focuses on lyrics which all relate to …

IF Z-Man is part of the Hieroglyphics extended family, then he is one the outer, outer branches of the family tree. He actually is part of the Hiero crew, but not an immediate member, but signed to their label, Hiero Imperium. Z-Man’s lyrics are in a league of …

I would not say that I love rap music. I certainly liked it but there are certain genres of music I totally love and they are of course mostly rock music and also electronic music. But rap music is the type of music that I like even though I …

The first time I saw John Tesh was as the co-host of Entertainment Tonight. Slowly, his musical talent began to be discussed on the show, and then he started doing recording. The rest is history for the pianist. I’m not big time into instrumentals, but every …

One of the songs off the Warrant Cherry Pie album that is one of the best songs off it is the song You’re The Only Hell Your Mamma ever raised. This song starts off with a cool guitar chord intro that splits into two different guitars and it has …

I know that the band’s name is somewhat hard to pronounce (I even heard one time my classmate said, “Cheveches” and I was like, what?”) but really, it’s just pronounced as “Churches”, they’re just probably bad in the spelling department!
But thankfully enough, their music is nowhere near as bad …

Tool’s 1993 album Undertow is not only my favorite Tool album it may be my favorite album period. Intolerance is a heavy riffing straight up metal song, on Prison Sex they drop the low E to a B to get the extra crunch of the song, the lyrics like …

The Purple Bottle is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their album Feels. For those of you who were disappointed with the very relaxed sound present throughout the previous track, Flesh Canoe, The Purple Bottle will not disappoint. Opening up with an energetic percussive section, the band …

I’m been listening to Invincible by Muse over and over for the last few days so I figured that I just had to write a review about it. The reason I started listening to the song was because Bellamy’s guitar solo on this track was praised so heavily for …

Drifter is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Killers. The song starts off with a guitar lead before being harmonized and doubled by more guitars and the bass as well, it has almost an old organ sound which is very interesting in my opinion. Di’anno …

One of Spice Girls song that I love as well would be Viva Forever. It has a certain Italian and Spanish-like sounding quality and Viva Forever by Spice Girls will always be on my mind whenever I have memories of the Spice Girls’ brand of music and wanting to …

Tell me I was dreaming is a love ballad by Travis Tritt. It is the type of song that typically brings tears to most of us. The video is not what I expected the first time I heard the song and then watched the video. It was a unique …

I was scared off by Slipknot for a long time, I think because they’re one of those bands that wear masks. Even though I like hard rock, for some reason, masks will make me not want to listen to a band every time. But I’m glad I …

Daffy Duck is a song by Animal Collective and is the seventh song on their album Feels. I will mention right now that Daffy Duck is the second longest track on the record, clocking in at just over seven and a half minutes. Though Animal Collective typically had problems …

Overview —“ American Idiot, Green Day’s seventh effort, is what I would consider their greatest work in their career. The songwriting on this album is amazing, especially compared to their previous work, Warning. Whereas Warning seemed to lack energy in most of the songs and was also just a …

I loved the first CD from this band so when I saw this one released, I knew I had to have it. This could probably be one of the best CD’s I own. I only paid $11.99 for it at my local music store. This CD had a really …

Chores is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their album Strawberry Jam. Opening up with a vocal section immediately, Chores quickly transitions into a significantly faster section and is the quickest song to come on Strawberry Jam thus far. Perhaps some listeners felt that …

Daughtry has come such a long way from his first appearance on American Idol years ago, and this album definitely shows how far hes come. Overall its a great album with not one song i dislike. Thats how you know an albums good, when you can listen through …

As a classical enthusiast and performer myself, I have a large CD library with around nine or ten recordings of the infamous, devilishly difficult Sibelius Violin Concerto. Joshua Bell is one of my favorite violinists, and a friend gave me a CD of him playing the Sibelius and …

“Downtown” is the fourth single and music video off of SWV’s “It’s About Time” debut album, following “Right Here” (as well as “Right Here - Human Nature Mix”), “I’m So Into You”, and “Weak”. “Downtown” is filled with both sexual and sensual …

One genre of music that I can certainly say that I love is “Electronic Dance Music”. Of course this is a bit unusual for someone like me who is mostly into hard rock and heavy metal music. However, it is something that I have been interested in from I …

Please is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track starts off with a heavy industrial sound and the synthesizers actually have a pretty interesting sound throughout this section in my opinion. Reznor comes in with the first verse pretty quickly as …

Despite its significant commercial success and continued airplay, I still consider Billy Idol’s second solo outing to be one of the most underrated albums ever recorded. For me, every single track on Rebel Yell is a winner, and they still sound as fresh today as they did a quarter …

I am kind of getting tired of hearing songs and seeing videos by rappers who are talking about how tough their lives are in the hood. The reason is that so many rappers and hip-hop artists believe that being from the streets requires a certain type of …

Miley Cyrus is a very popular Disney Channel star whose show was based around her being a singer and leading a double life. This show has brought her into the real world of being Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana and it has also brought about the release of her second song, …

Fryin’ Up is a song by The Flaming Lips and appears as the seventh track on their album Telepathic Surgery. Opening up with a very catchy distorted guitar riff, right from the start of this song the band do an excellent job of having a very catchy rhythm and …

First time I hear this song, it’s sounds so weird to me, like the kids who has weird vocal sing this song. But, after I listen it more and more, I realize that I dance with this song. I enjoy it when it’s played.
‘Tokyo Drift’ from is original …

Throwin The Round Ball is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their second release Danse Manatee. In contrast to Runnin The Round Ball, this track has far less of a building feel to it, but it is also another instrumental. Rather than having a more traditional musical …

P. Diddy ft. Keyshia Cole
“Last Night”
Press Play
Bad Boy Entertainment
“Last Night” is the third single and music video from P. Diddy’s fourth album titled “Press Play”, following “Come To Me” and “Tell Me”. All I have to say is this is the best single out of all of them from …

Birdy was quite the unconventional type of singer these days. She managed to put out a very outstanding debut album full of covers from different (mostly unknown indie) acts and put her own spin to it. It went on to become an acclaimed important record to establish her career, …

Still Life is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their record Piece Of Mind. The track starts off with this very odd talking section which I’ve read is meant to be played backwards in order to take a jab and poke some fun at the critics deeming …

Better Than Me by Hinder is a song about how a guy is feeling down about his girl and realizing that the girl deserves better than him. obviously he was not treating the girl right and has tried to convince himself that he is not going to miss her. …

This is one of the most romantic songs ever recorded as far as I am concerned. Engelbert Humperdink was well known for his romantic songs. This is absolutely the love song of the century. Engelbert has one of those voices that had the ability to melt women’s hearts. He …

Overview - The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, the debut album by Pink Floyd, is an album that I would categorize as being extremely experimental, layered, complex, psychedelic, and even spacey at times. Surprisingly, the band did not really go for any commercial appeal with this album at …

The Suburbs is Arcade Fire’s third studio album, released in 2010, and probably my favourite out of all three of their albums. It’s been three years since their last release, and this album has been highly anticipated by all of Arcade Fire’s fans. The wait, in my opinion, is …

Judgment Of Heaven is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album The X Factor. I will say right now that I do not like Blaze Bayley with Iron Maiden, I don’t think that he fit their style and I think Dickinson fits substantially better and that …

Country music performing artists have no shortage of songs that move people by making them take a look at how they live their own lives, and the song ‘The Little Girl’ by John Michael Montgomery is no exception.
This sad tale tells the story of a little girl, neglected by …

Run Over By A Truck is a song by Weezer which appears on their record Raditude. Right from the title, you should be able to tell that this track is certainly going to have a different feel, for lack of a better description. The song is driven by a …

‘Cause I’m A Man is a song off of Tame Impala’s latest album, Currents, and it has been my most played song of the last month. I originally heard the song while watching a YouTube video and paused it so I could figure out what song it was, and …

I have never really been a huge fan of Beyonce’s. But I am at least glad that she is breaking from some of that choppy singing that she does. In this song, she muses over the possibility of what it would be like if she were the …

Death Is Not The End is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Down In The Groove. For whatever reason, I went into this track really not expecting all that much but to be honest, I was pretty surprised by the time the song ended. The …

Dusk And Her Embrace is Cradle of Filth’s second album released in 1996 on Music For Nations. Most of the album is Vampire themed, the vocals are nearly impossible to understand anyway though. The last track features Cronos from the band Venom. There was a limited edition version of …

Before i listened to this album i had a totally different perception of Lifehouse. I liked a few of their songs but nothing really stood out to me. This album is sensational, all the songs are inspiring in it and opens your eyes to everything you can achieve. The …

Jason Mraz is a singer/songwriter from San Diego has been releasing his second album Mr ‘A-Z’(taken from his last name Mraz). In his single of the album ‘Wordplay’ he shows about his selflessness when he said in the song “Im the wizard of oh and fa la la” indicating …

This Dishwalla song is from the 2002 album, Opaline. Out of all the songs on this album (one of them is “Angels and Devils”) Every Little Thing is the best and I’m not saying for this album only but with all of the songs they have ever done. When …

Overview - Houses Of The Holy, Led Zeppelin’s fifth effort, is an album filled with songs that all have something unique about each one of them, a crucial reason as to why I enjoy this album so much. A lot of times bands can put out an album filled …

Overview —“ Down In It, the first single and music video released by Nine Inch Nails for their debut record, Pretty Hate Machine, takes the chaos of the song and matches it with a video. Although this sounds appealing, at least to me, the execution in the music video …

Artist: Beyonce ft. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, and Solange Knowles
Video: “Get Me Bodied”
Album: B-Day
Label: Columbia
Director: Beyonce and Anthony Mandler
“Get Me Bodied” has to be the most overblown, over-hyped, over-saturated, and simply over-the-top music videos that Beyonce has ever done. It’s literally so over the top that it is ridiculous …
